SimilarWeb, the competitive analytics start-up that launched in 2013, has quickly grown to be one of largest data providers in the industry with millions of visitors to SimilarWeb.com each month. Leading publishers like TechCrunch, the Wall Street Journal, Bloomberg and Reuters use SimilarWeb as a resource for data insights.

“We live in a multi-device world where more often than not we are using apps, browsing websites and consuming media from different devices frequently at the same time. Only measuring and considering desktop website analytics creates a big blind spot about actual web usage. Today, with our new products, our vision to truly measure the entire web is a reality,” said Or Offer, CEO of SimilarWeb.
